I’m Just His Wife

“Oh, that’s vague, doctor.” said Darlyn so I looked at her again. “We haven’t done a miracle my wife conceived out of resentment because she’s still flirting with me. You know, only a good person like me deserves to be chased.” he twisted his brownish hair with his index finger.

Darlyn was right. Actually, Xyleus has been flirting with her for five months or more. Creed and Marilyn even lost to them who were so sweet. It’s been two months since the two of you met. That’s where Darlyn was left.

‘that’s right, Mrs. Santiago. It’s to reduce the number of patients I check up.” the doctor’s voice seemed to break, so I looked at him again. Oh, what was that! I was dizzy from looking at them.

“Aren’t you planning to give me an ultrasound yet, doctor?” I asked frowning. I am so excited to know my child”s gender!

The doctor’s gaze shifted to me. “Ah, I’m sorry Mrs. De Leon. It’s because of Mrs. Santiago’s chatter that I’m getting used to it.” the doctor removed the stethoscope hanging around his neck. “Anyways, change inside that room. Remove your undergarments like before and wear the gown.” he said and pointed to a room.

I just nodded. Seriously? was this really how my pregnancy affects me? I seem to have been childish for a while. But only for a while.

I stood up and Roxanne supported me again. He even offered to accompany me to the room because I might slip or something else would happen to me. I immediately refused and said that I was pregnant and not disabled. That I can be myself which was really true. My life was a living hell before and I was able to do that. Could it be just a simple change of clothes? Tsk.

I entered the room and as usual the clothes I was going to wear immediately opened up to me. The room was small but it was just right for a pregnant woman like me. I followed the doctor’s instructions and then left the room.

I was greeted by people I did not expect to be here. I smiled spontaneously. What were they doing here?

“Hello, Mom.” smiling Ice said and approached me.

My smile widened even more and suddenly I hugged him. My first-born was taller than me now. Time was really fast.

“Momma!” yielded a small and feminine voice so I searched for where that came from.

When I saw that it was Rayne I first let go of Ice and approached my princess. Rayven and I were just next to each other so I hugged them both. Oh, God. I never expected that they would come!

I both kissed the twins on the head before I moved away from them a bit. I wiped the tiny tears that dripped from my eye. I am happy to see them. I only think once because they can be together.

“How were you, Rigella?” asked Mommy Jane who was now next to the twins. Ice, on the other hand, stepped aside from Mommy.

I laughed softly. “I’m fine, Mommy. Why were you here?” I asked smiling.

“I also want to know the gender of my grandchild and so was your kids. That’s why we’re here.” Mommy Jane said briskly and brought her palm close to my stomach. He gently caressed you so I smiled even more. I know my Mom will also do that if she’s still alive.

My smile disappeared immediately when I suddenly remembered something. “Mommy … How about-”

Mommy immediately cut off what I was going to say. “It’s fine. Everything was taken cared of before I arrive in here.” Mommy Jane gave me a warm smile. His palm moved to my shoulder and tapped it.

I nodded slowly. I trust Mommy Jane so … If it’s fine, it’s really fine.

“Mother, I’m going to have an ultrasound of this sister’s husband.” said the doctor who was next to Roxanne. The three of them Darlyn and Laren were quiet but they were smiling at me.

Mommy nodded. “Sure, Vivienne. You’re free to do it.” Mommy’s consent. “I’m so excited to know my grandchild’s gender!” Mommy laughed and was still applauded.

I smiled again. It was obvious from Mommy’s look that she was excited.

I am happy that all the people who were important to me were here the day I will know what gender my baby will be. But, I know this would be more happy if Ivan was here. I want him here because if he was here this will be the first time he will accompany me to the ultrasound for our future child.

But I knew that was impossible. So impossible. So here it was and I’m just asking now.

I just kept smiling and never again ignored what I was thinking. Just, I want my son to be a boy. It’s okay for me to be a woman but I really prefer a man. An another resemblance of Ivan will definitely make me happy.

The doctor laid me on a bed, as before, and lifted the dress I was wearing. There was some gel that the doctor applied to my stomach and applied to my stomach what seemed to be a sensor object.

I turned to a small screen to my right. My tears automatically flowed when I saw my baby. He wasn’t very whole yet but I could hear his heartbeat. And at least I knew he was alive in my stomach. Then it was as if I wanted him to come out of me now.

The doctor and I were surrounded by people who were important to me. They were fun to watch as they also stared at that screen with admiration on their faces.

“Woah, was that our little brother, Rayven?” I heard Rayne’s question so my gaze shifted to her. I was a little tickled by the doctor’s movement in my stomach but it was nice to feel the cold that came when he rubbed it on me.

“Yes, Rayne. But, we’re not yet sure if he’s a he. Don’t call him ‘little brother’ yet.” smiling slightly Rayven said to Rayne.

“Aww, I hope he’s a boy. I want to be an Ate na eh.” Rayne pouts so I smile. She’s too cute.

“You can be an Ate, too, if the baby’s a girl, Rayne.” Rayven said. “Why were you wishing for a boy, by the way?” Rayven tilted his head as he asked his twin sister.

Rayne smiled. “Because I want to be our family’s one and only princess, Kuya.” after he said that he giggled. He only called Rayven ‘brother’ once so it’s refreshing.

Rayven frowned. “You’re selfish, Iscelle Rayne. What if our sibling’s a girl? You’ll get mad?” he asked, shaking his head.

Rayne looked a little sad. “No, Rayven! I won’t be mad. And, I’m not selfish!” Rayne was starting to cry so I was a little alarmed.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“Hey you two, stop that. Keep quiet and don’t disturb our Mom, alright?” Ice said suddenly and I barely looked back. He smiled at him.

I also smiled at him and no voice told him ‘very good, brother”.

“According to the ultrasound, 80% boy was baby, Mrs. De Leon. So technically, boy was baby.” smiling the doctor said and turned to me.

My mouth fell open and I burst out laughing with excitement. I’m crying too. I knew it! I’m telling you, my baby will grow up.

“I told you so, Rayven! Our sibling was a boy!” Rayne said proudly to Rayven.

Rayven patiently took a deep breath. “Fine. You win.” he said reluctantly.

After my ultrasound we all went straight to a mall just near the clinic I was checking up on. I no longer know if Laren was able to check with the doctor whether she was pregnant or not.

We headed straight to an Italian restaurant because I crave pasta and pizza. I ordered two plates of carbonara and a box of mini size Hawaiian pizza. I ate really hard today so they didn’t even wonder why I ordered so much. Mommy Jane will even add e. It was really good and I stopped him.

Sometimes I also look in the mirror and not on my own I just cry. E how come, I’m already fat and I don’t know if I can get my sexy body back like before.

While we were eating Mommy Jane asked me about my pregnancy. If I’m having trouble because of the size of my stomach and if I’m under too much stress while running SCC and DLC. Yes, even though I am pregnant I still work. Creed and Xyleus help me so I don’t have much trouble. Since, without Ivan I am now in charge of the DLC.

“Aren’t you bothered at work, daughter? It’s hard for you to do that. You hold two big companies.” the concern was obvious in Mommy’s voice.

I smiled. “Not really, Mommy. When I have meetings or something I need, I only meet on skype so I don’t have too much trouble. Then sometimes Creed and Xyleus take care of the things I need to take care of.” my answer. I’m really impressed with Ivan’s best friends. They also took good care of me even though Ivan was really their best friend and I wasn’t. I feel like I’m their best friend now. I’m close to those two.

Mommy smiled for a moment. Excitement flashed across his face. “was that so? For me, those two were funny. They’re really kind. I don’t wonder why Ivan was only comfortable making friends with them. But all I know was that he also became her best friend-” Mommy stopped talking and suddenly his eyes widened. I saw her swallow before drinking iced tea.

My forehead furrowed. “Who?” I wondered.
